about

A collaboration with Rizván, Gregg Harper on scratches and myself. This track is upbeat and summery. Sounds fun to me.

lyrics

Laid Back by Esoligh featRizván
Chorus - Rizván
Yeah, yeah to the breakabreakadawn it’s on (x2),
To the breakabreakadawn it’s on,
We just cruisin’, just cruisin’, what


Verse One - Esoligh
I stand to make next to nothing off this song,
Capitalists wondering what keeps me going on,
Martyn says hollow objects resound the loudest,
The worst gets heard in the commonest cloudiness

While I sit here watching Manny Slay Sunday,
Rapping on the couch where my flatmates be,
Money a worse master than the mind is,
The heart has us all alight with love all the time kid

Driving around my new truck was divine,
Rolling with my nephew to eat the fine food cha,
Burgermasters up in here roll by the Rhine true,
Urban blue a pacifying light enshrined attitude

Wack in people such a shameful sign too,
Like, the lines of people at Macca’s,
I sing these songs for the light to dive in and jack ya,
Driving to ZB some of the time I get at ya


Chorus - Rizván
Yeah, yeah to the breakabreakadawn it’s on (x2),
To the breakabreakadawn it’s on,
We just groovin’, just groovin’, what
 

Verse Two – Rizván
You can find me chillin’ on Taka Beach
Shades on, cooler at the back of me,
Char grill, sizzling a pack of meat,
Sunscreen on the shoulder

Ice in the bucket keep the orange soda, much colder
Press play on the tape cassette,
Mase or that Ace of bass, 90’s always gotta pay respect,
Splits in the waves, kids in the shade

Chicks in the rays, fixed for the day
I be coolin’, bro’s on the cellphone bring ’em out,
Lace the shelltoes, Strap the velcro get ‘em out
Hit the Mobil up at James work down at Pak n save

Fill up the chilly then I hit up the track n blaze
[?]… Down to Westlake, Left at Kentucky Fried,
Cousin’s better duck at dive case you get spotted,
And your pockets or your buck is dry

Day in the life, North City always get it right


Chorus - Rizván
Yeah, yeah to the breakabreakadawn it’s on (x2),
To the breakabreakadawn it’s on,
We just cruisin’, just cruisin’, what

 
Verse Three - Esoligh
North City Rizzy busts the Tongan flavour,
His skillset as sharp as a classic light sabre,
Cutting down Sith with the skills of a major,
Bringing wackness to knees like a UFC cager

Chilling on days like this beat brings out,
This internal clout what I’m all about,
Leaving clouds of negativity badly thought out,
Lifting my state to a better weighted bout

Gotta love the animals and the people too,
Eating animals is a bad attitude,
Not judging you if you do but I don’t do,
It, anymore walk it past on through

Finding energy in a clean mouth pathway,
A sweeter more constantly supportive way,
People in a sunshiney good mood dude,
Learning te reo Maaori as best I can do… Poneke!


Chorus - Rizván
Yeah, yeah to the breakabreakadawn it’s on (x2),
To the breakabreakadawn it’s on,
We just cruisin’, just cruisin’, what
